WATCH: Nancy Pelosi Says Kevin McCarthy 'Obligated' to Testify at January 6 Committee

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Thursday that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) — the leader of the opposition — was “obligated” to testify in front of the one-sided January 6 committee investigating the Capitol riot.McCarthy has no connection to the riot and condemned it last year. But Democrats — and their media allies — want him to testify because he spoke to President Donald Trump that day.Reporters at Pelosi’s weekly press conference even asked if McCarthy should be subpoenaed to compel his testimony, or threatened with “jail” (transcript via Speaker’s office, original emphasis):Q:  Thank you, Madam Speaker. Well, I have, as one who has served on the Ethics Committee for many years, longer than anybody else, I have always said: any issue about the Ethics Committee referring things should not come out of the Leader’s or the Speaker’s Office. I defer to their judgment.Yes, sir.Last year, Pelosi took the unprecedented step of rejecting two of McCarthy’s five nominees for the January 6 committee, defying the committee’s enabling resolution, and instead named two Republicans who have long opposed President Trump.Joel B.
